Going to immortality inexplicably

Chapter 773 The Secret of the Ladder

Seeing the foundation-building disciples starting to climb up the ladder one after another, the elders in the secret room were no longer calm.

The ladder to heaven is the most important secret place in the sect, and even the Jindan elders like them, no one has ever climbed to the top.

There is only this ladder in the entire Black Wind Continent, and only the number one sect is qualified to establish a sect here.

Once the Qianye Sect falls from the number one throne, the entire Qianye Sect will be relocated, and the new first sect will move over.

It has been more than a thousand years since the Qianye Sect became the first sect. Many people do not know the fact that only the first sect can establish a sect here.

Many elders don't know this secret, only a few senior elders know it.

But most elders know that the ladder to heaven is absolutely extraordinary, otherwise it would not only let new disciples walk once and then close it, and no one would be allowed to enter at all.

Now, suddenly, before the foundation-building disciple competition, the foundation-building disciples are asked to walk up the ladder again. What kind of medicine is sold in the master's gourd?

At this time, the leader locked himself in his secret room. On the wall was a huge crystal, which showed the scene of the ladder to heaven.

There was no one around him, and all his disciples went to take the ladder to heaven.

"Bai Gui asks to see the leader!"

Elder Bai's loud voice suddenly sounded outside. The leader raised his hand and the door of the secret room opened.

"Elder Bai, please come in!"

Elder Bai came in and the door to the secret room was immediately closed.

"I've seen the headmaster!"

Elder Bai bowed, and the leader also stood up and returned the salute, pointing to the futon beside him: "Elder Bai, please sit down!"

Elder Bai thanked him, sat down on the futon, and then asked: "Excuse me, Master, if I remember correctly, the Foundation Establishment Disciple Competition should be five years away. Why is it suddenly brought forward?"

The leader glanced at Elder Bai and sighed: "Well, there have been some unusual phenomena in the Black Wind Continent recently. There may be changes in the practice world, so I have to advance the competition."

Elder Bai closed his eyes and meditated, as if he was carefully understanding what the vision the master said was, and then nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, the sky has been abnormal recently. Since the thunder tribulation of the non-elder, it seems that the rain has become less and less, and the daytime seems to have become longer. Are these the strange phenomena that the leader is referring to?"

"Yes, and no." The leader nodded, then shook his head.

"Abnormal weather is just a symptom. We cultivators don't pay much attention to these abnormalities. After all, the weather is not smooth every year, but the strange thing recently is that after the thunder tribulation of the non-elder, it seems that there has never been thunder again. , even in the rainy season, there are only occasional light rains, and most of the time it is dry. If our blessed land of cultivation is like this, what will it look like in the places where ordinary people live? "

Elder Bai was shocked. People like them had long been isolated from the world and never thought about how ordinary people survived.

Now that I think about it, Qianye Sect is the best place for cultivation in the entire continent. They rarely see a few drops of rain here all year round. The drought in ordinary people's world may be even more serious.

"Also, our cultivation world has been unsettled in recent years. Because of the lack of rain, the spiritual energy has become less and less. Some small and medium-sized sects have been unable to practice. They have gone to the large sects they are attached to and want to merge into the large sects in order to get some With cultivation resources, you can continue to practice.”

Elder Bai was shocked again. Each large sect had many small sects attached to it. Qianye Sect, as the first sect, had nearly a hundred small sects attached to it.

Small sects usually pay tribute to the large sects they are attached to, in order to seek protection in times of crisis.

Now that there is a sudden drought, there is little rain, and the spiritual energy is getting thinner and thinner, it is naturally difficult for small sects like them to practice in remote places, so they have to come to the large sects to rely on.It would be a good thing for a large sect to merge with several small sects, as it can expand its own strength.

But if hundreds of small sects suddenly come in, the population suddenly increases, and their cultivation resources are also reduced, it will not be easy to ensure that the people of this sect practice. How can there be room for more people? ?
Thinking of this, Elder Bai couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.

"So, today's practice world has become very unstable, and some sects have fallen into chaos. From my point of view, if this phenomenon does not ease, I am afraid that within a few years, the practice world will become even more chaotic. By then, In order to snatch cultivation resources, a melee might break out between the sects.”

Elder Bai's heart was shaken, and his face became serious.

"So the leader suddenly announced the foundation-building disciple competition this time just to deal with the upcoming melee?"

"Yes, it's better to be prepared for a rainy day than to be overwhelmed when suddenly attacked." The leader nodded slowly.

"Then why did the competition rules suddenly change this time and let the disciples take the ladder?" Elder Bai was still puzzled.

"Does Elder Bai know the secret of the ladder to heaven?"

"Know a thing or two."

"Elder Bai, you are one of the most powerful elders in our Qianye Sect. Now, including the newly promoted non-elders, our Qianye Sect only has six golden elixir peaks. Under normal circumstances, those below the golden elixir peak will not dare to Provoke us, but we also know that if other sects unite to attack our Qianye Sect, and hundreds of late-stage Jindans fight against one of our peak Jindans, do we still have a chance of winning?"

Elder Bai's expression changed. The cultivation world of Black Wind Continent has been peaceful for nearly a thousand years. Although the various sects have their own thoughts and are at odds with each other, peace can still be maintained on the surface and war will not break out for no reason.

That year at the trial site, the Beast Controlling Sect wanted to kill all the elite Qi Condensing disciples of other sects, but they only dared to do so secretly. After the incident was exposed, Elder Long fled, and the Beast Controlling Sect compensated all the sects with a lot of training resources, and in the end other sects stopped pursuing the case.

But once the world of cultivation becomes chaotic, if several large sects unite with some small and medium-sized sects and gather hundreds or thousands of Jindan elders to attack Qianye Sect, Qianye Sect will not be defeated for a while, but if things continue like this, Qianye Sect will not be defeated for a while. Zong Hui will be exhausted and trapped in a bitter battle.

In the Black Wind Continent, because the peak of the golden elixir is the ceiling, no one can continue to advance, so there are many golden elixir elders in each sect, and each major sect has hundreds of golden elixir elders.

A sect with less than a hundred Jindan elders is considered a medium-sized sect, and there is basically no peak Jindan sect.

If a medium-sized sect suddenly reaches a peak golden elixir, the sect's status will immediately rise, and it will have enough confidence when interacting with large sects, and it will not need to be so cowardly.

Now there are sudden changes in the sky, less rain, thinner spiritual energy, and a drastic reduction in cultivation resources. The world of cultivation will indeed change.

"Is the ladder to heaven related to this change?" Elder Bai asked tentatively.

"I can't be sure how many steps there are in the ladder and where it will eventually lead, because I have never climbed to the top. It's just that as the leader, I know a little more than the elders."

The leader closed his eyes and spoke slowly, while Elder Bai listened attentively.

"After I, Qianye Sect, came here to take charge of the ladder, I learned that the ladder does not allow golden elixirs to step on it, so we golden elixirs have no chance to step on the ladder. However, the strength of the Qi Condensation disciples and the Foundation Establishment disciples cannot reach the top, so until now No one knows where you will go once you reach the top of the ladder.”

The leader paused, seemingly lost in thought, and Elder Bai did not dare to disturb his thoughts.

"According to the records of our Qianye Sect, the highest record of Qi Condensation disciples is around two thousand levels, while Foundation Establishment disciples can only reach five to six thousand levels. And even the most powerful Foundation Establishment disciples, after reaching six thousand levels, I can’t even see the end of the ladder!”

Elder Bai was also lost in thought. The steps of the heavenly ladder changed every 1.3 steps. If the steps were increased by ten centimeters every [-] steps, the steps would already be [-] meters by the [-] steps. If there were no obstacles, one could reach the peak of foundation building easily. Go up, but I don’t know what kind of difficulties are waiting there, and I don’t know how difficult it will be to go up.

Elder Bai sighed, it was only because he had never climbed the ladder to heaven.
